In this experiment, we will be swinging a block of mass m on a string of length l to study centripetal acceleration. When we use the formula a c = v 2 r to calculate the centripetal acceleration, r is the radius of the circle of the swinging block, therefore is equal to the length l of the string.
Group of answer choices
True or False

A conical pendulum is formed by attaching a ball of mass m to a string of length L, then allowing the ball to move in a horizontal circle of radius r. The following figure(Figure 1) shows that the string traces out the surface of a cone, hence the name.Part A: Find an expression for the tension T in the string.Express your answer in terms of the variables L,m,r and appropriate constants.Part B: Find an expression for the ball's angular speed?.Express your answer...
Problem 5 A man is swinging an object, attached to a string, in a circle over his head (see the sketches). Side view Top view (a) Draw a free-body diagram for the object. Notice the string is not drawn horizontal in the "side view" diagram above. Why is that? (b) If the mass of the object is 1 kg, what is the vertical component of the tension? (c) If the object makes 3 turns per second, and the radius of...
4. A small object of mass M is swinging around in a vertical circle held by a massless string of length L, attached to a pivot, as shown. Given that the speed of the mass at the bottom of the circle is Vo, find the tension in the string when the mass is at an angle (theta) with respect to the vertical (see figure) Pivot M
In the apparatus shown above, one end of a string of length L is attached to a block of mass M and the other end is connected to the axle of a motor that rotates, causing the block to move in a circle of radius R at a constant speed vT such that the string makes an angle θ with the vertical. A student wants to use the apparatus to make measurements and create a graph that can be used...
Say you want to make a sling by swinging a mass M of 1.9 kg in a horizontal circle of radius 0.030 m, using a string of length 0.030 m. You wish the mass to have a kinetic energy of 14.0 Joules when released. How strong will the string need to be? (How much tension will there be in the string?)
The system shown in the figure below consists of a mass M = 3.3-kg block resting on a frictionless horizontal ledge. This block is attached to a string that passes over a pulley, and the other end of the string is attached to a hanging m = 1.7-kg block. The pulley is a uniform disk of radius 8.0 cm and mass 0.60 kg. (a) What is the acceleration of each block? acceleration of M = 3.3 kg _____ m/s2 acceleration...
Problem 2: A mass of 0.5 kg, is attached to a mass- less string and being rotated in a vertical circle of radius of 1 m. Its motion is such that the tension in the string at location B is equal to its weight (mg). Determine a) its tangential velocity VB at B, b) the tension in string TA at A, and c) the centripetal acceleration an at C rel m 30
Two blocks are connected by a lightweight string passing over a pulley, as shown in the figure below. The block with mass m1 = 16.5 kg on the incline plane accelerates up the plane with negligible friction. The block's acceleration is a = 1.40 m/s2, and the tension in the segment of string attached to this block is T1. The hanging block has a mass of m2 = 23.5 kg, and the tension in the string attached to it is T2....
2. A block of mass "m" is attached to a cord of length "L", which is fixed at one end. The mass moves in a horizontal circle on a frictionless table. A second block of mass "3m" is attached to the first by a cord of the same length "L" and also moves in a circle, as shown. The period of the motion is "t". a. Write out the forces in the radial direction on each block. Given [m, L,...
An air puck of mass 0.23 kg is tied to a string and allowed to revolve in a circle of radius 1.2 m on a frictionless horizontal table. The other end of the string passes through a hole in the center of the table, and a mass of 0.9 kg is tied to it. The suspended mass remains in equilibrium while the puck on the tabletop revolves. a) What is the tension in the string? (b) What is the force...
